After my visit to the museum, I went back to Osan for the evening. It was my birthday after all. I had no wish to spend it sitting on the ship. There was an ulterior motive though, I wanted another blanket. It ended up being a quiet evening, which was fine with me and we did not have any where near as much fun getting back on board the ship that night.
After the crew had stuffed blankets into every nick and cranny of the ship, we received a couple of guests from the South Korean Navy. Unfortunately for me, with most of the staterooms still occupied with senior Officers, I temporarily lost my stateroom. It was only for a few days though. The port visit ended with me handing over a treasury check for port fees.
The South Korean Navy wanted to test their ability to coordinate a fleet exercise. They also included their new aegis destroyer in the mix, it is modeled after American destroyers. The exercises went well, I will not comment on exactly what we did but after a few days out at sea we returned to Pyongtaek and anchored out again for a day. Our South Korean guests departed with my Captain for one last meeting ashore and then operations were completed. It was time to go back to Yokosuka, Japan.
